Type-Moon: Root Seiko

But these people, men, women, young and old, all stood stiffly in place without any life, almost forming a T-shape, which looked rather eerie.

As Orange flicked her finger, the puppets came to life, each preparing to cast a spell.

"I'll first try to sever the spiritual veins near the stagnation point. Then I'll drive in a wedge to force the magic within the stagnation point to leak out."

That's what Lord Orange said.

She unfolded her work kit on a roadside bench: "Yuzhu and Irisviel, come and help."

"And Canaan, your eyes are useful too, come and help me see."

The three of them joined together and formed a four-person research group with Orange.

"..."

Luo Zhen was suddenly all alone.

Although he wanted to help, Orange was ruthless when it came to work and would definitely find him a nuisance.

Joan of Arc and Artoria also remained in spirit form, keeping watch nearby.

There were also a huge number of puppets moving around, and more than fifty people (human-shaped objects?) had gathered around the church.

The population density is too high.

Luo Zhen joked with Kyo Shinko beside him, "Do you remember this place? We fired the first shot of the Holy Grail War."

"You even killed Karen's father here, thank you."

"..."

Miss Xiao Kuang was speechless, truly admiring that this man could still bring up this topic.

Without needing to conserve her magic, she leaped up and quickly climbed the outer wall of the church, away from the throngs of people on the ground.

She climbed to the top of the church.

A slender young girl stands upright on one leg atop the cross, letting the wind rustle her skirt.

"……very nice."

Looking down over the entire city of Fuyuki, Kyo felt a small sense of peace.

She seemed to hear the cry of a falcon, so distant and clear.

Although this is a sad building constructed by "the people of the Book (Catholics)".

The city in the East before him was completely different from his former home.

But this place still reminded Xiao Kuang of some of the scenery of the Eagle's Nest.

Beneath the solemn fortress of the sect, the believers lived their lives in peace.

As the Old Man of the Beginning said: "The believers are the faith to which we dedicate ourselves."

Hassanid followers throughout history have adhered to this principle.

I also want to be one of those who protect others.

So they train diligently, devoting their entire lives, just to gain recognition...

……admit?

Is what we truly want to be acknowledged?

Kyoko suddenly didn't understand.

Even if one wants to admit it, what kind of admission do they want?

With his abilities, he should have been able to become "Hassan"?

Do you want to go down in history? Do you want to become a hero of your sect and be remembered for generations to come?

No, no, no!

I absolutely do not have such presumptuous and naive thoughts...

"...What are you looking at?"

Kyoko is trying to sort out the complicated thoughts that have been affected by her "madness".

Then he was distracted by Luo Zhen's gaze from below.

Luo Zhen followed Kyo Shinko's example and quickly climbed to the top of the church, looking up at himself from below the cross.

The berserker looked down at him, and the two gazed at each other across the distance.

There's only a cold wind blowing, no one can stay in complete darkness.

After admiring it in silence for a while, Luo Zhen put his hands together and thanked him:

"What a beautiful view! Thank you for your hospitality."

"...?"

Miss Crazy never realized the problem in the end.

She's still wearing the student-style dress that Luo Zhen picked out for her.

The black stockings that cover the skin are the final compromise, and also the greatest common denominator between Luo Zhen and Xiao Kuang.

Xiao Kuang was very satisfied with these socks that completely covered her skin.

Moreover, it was form-fitting and allowed for easy movement. She praised the level of modern clothing manufacturing.

Luo Zhen was also very satisfied with Xiao Kuang wearing pantyhose.

In her mind, there was absolutely no need to cover up the pantyhose under the skirt; if the skirt was blown up by the wind, so be it.

What a generous beauty! Luo Zhen thanked her deeply once again.

Down below, Orange and the others were still working.

At the top, Luo Zhen looked at Xiao Kuang on the cross: "Want to talk?"

"What are you going to talk about?" Kuang Kuang asked.

"You said you killed the Assassin."

Upon hearing Luo Zhen's words, Kyoshinko visibly stiffened.

He continued, "I know you don't want to say. But now that things have come to this, I also want to know why you don't want to say."

"Given the current situation, we don't know if the Assassin you killed was connected to the mastermind behind it all."

"Even if you only want to talk about the parts you want to talk about, could you say a little bit? After all, we'll soon be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."

"..."

"This man is really good at bewitching people," Kyonobu thought.

My own resistance was indeed rapidly dissolving under his persuasion, which was incredible.

She finally softened, her eyes drooping.

"He is the Old Man of the Primordial Beginning."

As Luo Zhen raised an eyebrow in a look that seemed to say, "Are you serious?", Kyoshino's voice drifted out softly:

“The Primordial Old Man sent his shadow to see me.”

“He said that the Primordial Elder should have come to eliminate the threat of the beast in his capacity as a crown prince… but he caught a glimpse of me and became angry.”

“The Primordial Old Man denied me and refused to let me enter the secluded valley... Therefore, he refused to come.”

Kyoko frowned, looking aggrieved.

"sorry."

She really is like a little girl.

She looked like she was about to cry, tightly gripping her trembling hands.

"The Primordial Elder, who was supposed to come to save this world, refused to come because of my mistake... I'm so sorry!"

(The silly granddaughter is like a wild boar and can't understand what her arrogant grandfather is saying.)

Chapter 102 The little cutie is such a big cutie

A self-narration by Kyonobuko.

When she infiltrated Kenneth's cruise ship, she encountered a shadow wearing a Hassan mask.

Despite the fact that even with Kyoko's abilities, the numerous defenses and concealment barriers set up by the human Kenneth were as fragile as paper in front of her, and could be easily broken through.

But she fell into complete darkness.

I can't even hear my own breathing, and I can't feel anything, as if my body itself has disappeared.

She was trapped in a shadow that had no thickness.

Just one wrong step, and you're cut off from the world.
